 Post subject: Kijima handlebar clamp
PostPosted: Thu Mar 22, 2012 3:41 pm 
I finally stepped up to a real handlebar clamp after rocking the Password JDM Shim/BMX Stem combo for the past year.

I originally went with the BMX setup simply because of price. For $35 and the price of a stem you were set. I now wish I had spent the money up front as the Kijima clamp is much nicer.

Pros:
-Puts the handlebars where they should be directly over the steering tube
-Includes a bracket for your speedometer... no more zip ties
-Looks like a proper motorcycle part
-Bolts on like the stock bars, which is much safer if something should come loose.
-More comfortable (for me anyhow). Before this I was running some tall bmx bars, now I run lower MX bars, but because the bars mount higher and are closer to me, it's just as comfortable as the old setup (and looks so much nicer)

Cons:
-Price, its $86 on battle scooter
-You are pretty much limited to motorcycle bars after this. I was running bmx bars before and discovered I couldnt use them with this clamp. I had to steal my protapers from another motorcycle when I realized this

I just picked up one of these a few weeks ago and can definitely vouch that its a great part. Installed easy, looks great, no snagging of lines. My only complain is the lack of a turn signal light hole on the speedo bracket but its easy to fab one up.

:highfive:
